Get your centrist, we need to listen to both sides, ass out of here
Yeah, you really need to check my comment history.
Every single person who marched on the Capitol on Jan 6, whether they went inside or not, whether they engaged in violence or not, was wrong.
Some of those people were criminally wrong, to varying degrees. Again, consequences for criminal actions should be commensurate with the degree of criminality. Again, taking into account that even minor criminal offenses were in support of the entire mob.
Once we're all on the other side of this nonsense - if? - right-wing loons are still going to exist. They're still going to be citizens. We still all have to live together and move forward. I'm quite certain that there will be more, and more widespread, violence between now and then.
I don't know how to find common ground with people who reject reality, and I get real frustrated sometimes, too. (It gives me a MAGAraine.) But I also know that just giving up and taking the easy "throw them all in jail" route is counterproductive, and wholly at odds with how a fair justice system works. One of the things which separates me from them is that I want a fair justice system, regardless of who the accused is.
